Wanting to be a celestial being with Araucaria heterophylla...
Having been a知青 (sent-down youth), I understand a bit about the "eight-character constitution" of "soil, fertilizer, water, seed, density, protection, management, and labor." There are not a few potted landscapes at home, and friends often come to admire them, bringing back small plants like banyan, American aloe, and young Araucaria heterophylla as greenery. Often, after a year or so, they sadly tell me: the small banyan tree dried up, the American aloe rotted... Only the Araucaria heterophylla did not have any accidents! The reason is, although the banyan tree has a very strong life force and is not afraid of drought or flood, it is constrained in a small pot. How can it survive without water for a month when the owner goes on a business trip? As for the aloe, because the hostess cuts it for her face and the wound gets wet, it can't help but rot. But the Araucaria heterophylla, it doesn't ask for much, adapts to the environment. It has a larger target, and as long as the owner gives it some water, it can survive.
It shoulders the task of dust removal and oxygen release...
Araucaria heterophylla is a precious indoor bonsai species with high practical value and efficiency. First, it has a purification effect, capable of absorbing dust and exhaust gases from the air. Placing a pot in the living room ensures overall air purification and can balance the oxygen content in the air. Second, it has an absorption effect, capable of absorbing formaldehyde and odors, absorbing carbon dioxide from the air, and absorbing the poison from paint volatilization, thus regulating the humidity of the indoor air. Placing a pot is like installing a humidifier. It also releases oxygen through photosynthesis. Third, it has a health benefit. Raising Araucaria heterophylla at home can relax the eyes unintentionally and prevent dry eye syndrome. It is also effective for protecting vision.
Araucaria heterophylla rock bonsai...
Araucaria heterophylla, belonging to the Araucariaceae family and Araucaria heterophylla genus, is a tree species. In the wild, it can reach a height of about 50 meters with a straight trunk, giving a towering feeling. Araucaria heterophylla is native to Oceania and Australia, and now it is planted all over the world. It is universally recognized as the best park tree, courtyard tree, and indoor greenery bonsai. Indoor care for Araucaria heterophylla is simple, with garden soil, decomposed leaf soil, and peat mixed soil being the most suitable, but it can also adapt to general soil. Water more frequently from spring to autumn to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Place it in a sunny location and repot every 3 to 5 years. When it grows up, you can transplant it to the courtyard or donate it to an urban park, which is a delightful and meaningful thing!
If you have a balcony at home, it is even easier to raise Araucaria heterophylla. It likes a humid environment, and Zhangzhou area has abundant rainfall and a spring-like climate all year round. There's no need to worry about springtime plum rains, as there's no dry soil in May, and there are heavy rains in August and September. You almost don't need to take care of it all year round, as the humidity is sufficient. Of course, making a bonsai is different; it requires design, pruning, shaping, and care. If it is only used as general indoor greenery, it can be more relaxed and casual. However, one thing must be remembered: it is alive! If you raise it, you must take responsibility for it. When going on business trips or traveling, you should entrust someone in your family or a friend to take care of it. You can't just leave it behind! Cherish life, cherish everything, to achieve the realm of unity between heaven and man!
